Chapter 289: Ascending to the Throne
The boy was frightened by Chu Ze's cold eyes and didn't dare to speak, and the woman next to her saw that her child was being held as a flag threatening her husband, and she was crazy and wanted to run to stop something?
The woman wanted to cry without tears, and set her eyes on Chu Xiaochen. Helplessly prayed to the man with his eyes. I hope he will do something to save their child, but why doesn't Chu Xiaochen want to save it? It is also his child, and it is also a drop of flesh and blood on his body.
For the sake of the child, he put down his identity and prayed: "What's the matter with you, you rushed to me, he is still just a child? You let him go, he doesn't know anything!" It seemed that at this moment, Chu Xiaochen's emotions also completely collapsed at this moment, yes, he panicked, he had never been so afraid.
Even he himself didn't expect that one day he would become a lamb to the slaughter? But could his plea be answered by Chu Ze? Chu Ze saw that the emperor who was high in the past would even pray to him, and his heart seemed to be much happier. That's what he wants. He won in the end.
In the face of Chu Xiaochen's anger but couldn't bear his temper, vanity completely irrigated his whole body. He didn't promise anything, but carelessly helped the child sort out his clothes, and then stood up to face Chu Xiaochen, who was already about to go crazy, only to see his hand hidden under his sleeve trembling slightly.
"I never thought that the king of a country would have such a losing side? Do you say that you are worthy of the great rivers and mountains of this Chu family?" Chu Ze laughed proudly, and continued: "Is it this king who overestimated you at the beginning?"
The minister on the side saw that Chu Xiaochen had lost his composure, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Your Majesty, you must not listen to slanderous rumors, and Prince Jing is forcing the palace with the intention of rebelling...... I beg the emperor to think twice...... Don't fall into the trap," John Chen spoke here, and he knelt on the ground and begged Chu Xiaochen to stay calm. But his words had little effect.
"Lord Chen's words are wrong, if this king can't believe what he says, what else can you believe? What do you think...... Now you still have a choice? The King's patience is limited. If the royal brother still hesitates, don't blame the king's subordinates for being ruthless. He said with a smile in his eyes that was about to win. The laugh was chilling.
"Your Majesty...... Even for the dawn of the world, the people can't let such villains be satisfied, begging the emperor, for the sake of the country. Please be disrespectful. You must not draw up a decree and trap the people in fire and water. John Chen had a few more heads, and this time he was much more serious than before.
Maybe if they continue to fight, they will suffer heavy casualties, but if they are caught like this, then they will really have nothing. Once Chu Ze ascended the throne, the consequences were unimaginable.
It's just that right now he pins all his hopes on Chu Chen and Li Chijun, but will things go as smoothly as he thinks?
There is no answer, because of what is happening in the palace now. It's all done in secret. No one outside the palace knew about this earth-shattering incident.
I don't know if Li Chixiang knows the current situation in the palace now? John Chen sighed in his heart. So all the hopes are pinned on these two people. How he wished he had held out until the very end. But the reality is exactly what he thinks, diametrically opposite.
Chu Ze's wolf ambition, he has long been aware of it. Although she disagreed with Chu Chen, she both thought about the interests of the imperial court, and he was more on Chu Chen's side than Chu Ze.
"Lord Chen, there is no need to persuade you. As an emperor, if he can't even protect his wife and children, then why do I need to be this emperor?" Chu Xiaochen knew that the overall situation had been decided, and it was futile to struggle in vain, and he would only suffer countless deaths and injuries, for the sake of his children, or for the comfort of the people, he made a decision that many people couldn't do.
"The emperor's ......" Seeing that Chu Xiaochen made such an impulsive choice, John Chen didn't want him to do something that would make him regret it in the future, so he persuaded Chu Xiaochen without giving up. He didn't expect Chu Xiaochen to throw himself down so quickly, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, so he knocked down a few more times. But it didn't work. Chu Xiaochen has made up his mind, no matter how John Chen persuades, it will not help.
The guards who protected him gradually dispersed. Chu Xiaochen stood in the middle of the hall like a boulder. His eyes looked at Chu Ze like a torch.
A concubine took advantage of the fact that the person who was holding her was not paying attention and ran straight and rushed into Chu Xiaochen's arms. With a face full of grievances, he called Chu Xiaochen: "...... Your Majesty!" the voice was as loud as a fly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" patted her on the back to comfort her. The woman seemed to be at ease, closing her eyes and enjoying the emotions that were about to explode, but at the moment she was extremely relieved. It's like taking a reassuring pill. The fear of the moment is long gone.
After pacifying the concubine, Chu Xiaochen said, "I can abdicate, but you must promise to ensure their safety." ”
“...... Brother Huang thinks, "Are you still qualified to negotiate terms with this king?"
"Don't dare, become a king and lose a villain. But beg to die!"
"But...... They're all innocent, I ...... I hope that after I abdicate, you can spare their lives and quell all the people, and the prince doesn't think it's a good thing? And you don't have to be charged with "rebellion" and killing your brother? Isn't this a great joy?"
“...... Hmph, does the imperial brother really treat this king as a fool to deceive? This king actually dares to raise troops to rebel, so he is not afraid of this leisurely public. Never let the future troubles go by, cut the grass and eradicate the roots? This king will not be stupid enough to leave himself in such a big trouble!"
"You...... You backtracked!! he was angry, but he was helpless. He calmed his anger and said coldly, "If that's the case, you don't want me to abdicate. He waved his sleeve, as if he was angry.
"Really? Give it a try. After Chu Ze finished speaking, he smiled very evilly, he pulled out the big knife on the waist of the elite soldier behind him, and then grabbed a concubine and stabbed it without blinking.
The blood was like a burst of the embankment that had been released, and his face gradually grew.
"What's the matter, do you retreat or not?" Chu Ze threatened word by word, if he didn't like it for a moment, he would kill again at any time. He is like a beast that has lost his mind, ready to attack people. The concubines trembled with fright, and they huddled together.
After a while, he couldn't resist Chu Ze's threat, and finally Chu Xiaochen chose to compromise. Soon they were put in prison, and as for when they would be disposed of, Chu Ze had not yet made any response.
The main hall returned to its usual calm, but the floor was still unkempt. There were also a few puddles of blood. The body had been cleaned up, and a man in red approached.
"Congratulations to King Jing on his ascension to the throne. ”
"Well, this depends on the help of the Dark Soul Hall, you can rest assured, this king will definitely thank you. Seeing that it was Shen Ruofeng, the smile on Chu Ze's face that he had just now suddenly disappeared. Because he knows what it means for him to fall now?
"If not, he offered to add 100,000 taels of gold as a transaction with the half of the cheats that Ouyang Ruo lost, but I'm afraid that he would not move Shen Ruofeng, this man?
Until now, he has not forgotten that last time Shen Ruofeng's subordinates did not do well, and let him innocently lose so many silver taels. But since they helped him just now, then he naturally wants to thank others, but it's just that cheat, in fact, he doesn't know where the cheats are?
Although he knew that the cheats had always been in Yunyan's hands, he was still employing people at that time, so he never asked Yunyan about the whereabouts of the cheats. If it weren't for Yunyan and three years ago, it would have been a foreign combination. Shangguan still wouldn't misunderstand Chu Chen for beating that kid and being separated from him for three years? If Yin Qingling was the fuse that caused them to have a misunderstanding, then Yun Yan must be the murderer who broke up the two of them.
Yunyan, he still used the right way in this dangerous move. It's just that he didn't expect that once a woman is ruthless, it will be even more terrible than a man.
Chu Ze ordered someone to clean up the scene, and then find a few trustworthy people. Let's talk about the next steps. Shen Ruofeng's matter, first of all, he did it perfunctory and a little sincere. Pat your chest and promise. said that he must send the other half of the cheats to him. Then he didn't say anything, took the silver and went away.
The night was unusually cold, and the hanging moon hung high in the dark night sky, and the wind blew, bringing with it a few dark clouds. The quiet night sky also seemed to be quietly shocking for this huge change, Chu Ze imprisoned several ministers and Chu Xiaochen's concubines, and those who survived were resettled. It's just that there is no freedom of movement.
Early the next morning, the officials walked towards the hall as usual, but today's lobby was particularly strange. There were no guards around, and even Chu Xiaochen, who had never been late in the past, had not yet come to the hall.
No one thinks that anything is going to happen today, a huge change. The same is with a peaceful mood in the world, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
"The emperor is on the ......" A shout swept from the door of the main hall, and the officials were divided into two sides, doing the etiquette of being a minister.
The hall was in awe, and there was silence for an instant. A man dressed in an imperial robe walked through the middle.
The hundred officials greeted in unison, "Ministers...... Long live my emperor, long live, long live. "Hundreds of officials and ministers worship. Time passed minute by minute, and the word "flat" was not heard. The bold officials raised their heads and saw the yellow-robed man standing above, although his facial features were handsome and free, and he also had his formidable majesty, he was not the emperor they were familiar with.
"Jing ...... Lord Jing ......, "One of the adults was probably stupid by what was in front of him. blurted out Chu Ze. So hot that many officials have raised their heads?
"Lord Jing, do you know that you have committed the crime of killing your head now? Even if you are the prince, you shouldn't provoke the emperor's authority like this? He didn't know what had happened that night. But Chu Ze's actions made him very dissatisfied.
In the face of this adult's accusation, Chu Ze just glanced at him, but ignored it and did not answer.
"The holy decree has arrived......" I saw a eunuch hurriedly walking with the holy decree and standing next to the man in the yellow robe. The eunuch glanced at Chu Ze vigilantly, and the holy decree in his hand seemed to tremble.
The eunuch was so frightened by the cold eyes of the man that he didn't dare to look at it. I kept pinching the sweat for myself in my heart. I'm afraid that if there is a slight mistake, there will be no corpse.
He gathered his thoughts and opened the decree in his hand.
Read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." I have been ill for a long time, and I am afraid of right and wrong, King Jing should follow the way of heaven and the will of the people. That is, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and he ...... the eunuch pulled the last two words. When the holy decree was recited, I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
After he finished reading, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty below all exploded.
The dividing line - Happy holidays everyone!
